TKO brief history

Started in FFA in Earth 2025 in 2004, then moved to the UM server when the FFA server was closed, TKO was one of the last small FFA alliances that survived on the 1 country server, late 2008 TKO closed its doors as most tko players retired.

We returned in jan 2010 when FFA started back up, officially reforming in set 2.

TKO Earth Empires FFA results

Round 1

Ketchup had created a solo netting tag in FFA, when contacted by other TKOers about recreating TKO. It is decided that they should wait till set 2 to form properly. A few TKOers net peacefully under IPU tag. 7 countries finished in the top 100. The only instance of conflict was with a few small countries ketchup was grabbing. It resulted in 9 TKO casualties and 29 kills.

Round 2

Countries - 30

Total Net 15TH - $106,511,497

Average 14TH - $3,550,383

The reset stared well, had 60 countries. 2 weeks into the set Ketchup got swamped with schoolwork and went inactive. Warster later detags to aid friends and get the rust off his killing skills. Troytiger detags to make tag WILD. At the end of set TKO only had 30 countries tagged, half of which were barely OOP. Beo was the only member with his coutnries run for most of the set.

Round 3

TKO didnt field a tag this set. Ketchup remained retired from last set, Troy remained in WILD and Warster continued in AoDT

Round 4

Countries - 242

Total Net 2ND - $13,740,532,642

Average 2ND - $56,779,061

Reset started well with 112 countries. Warster had managed to get Ketchup out of his short lived retirement and we managed to convince some former TKO members to return to play.

2 weeks into the set NBK hits AoDT continuing a long standing conflict between the two. AoDT leadership decides they dont want to fight an OOP war as they can tell their members were not interested and most of Aodt do not want to war anymore. After a bit of deliberation TKO gives AoDT a home to net in for the coming set. NBK isnt too happy with the idea potentially fearing a regroup and attack. Warster manages to work it out after a 4 hour IRC chat with NBK leadership thanks in part to TKO and NBKs history in old FFA as friends, as well as TKO having a reputation as being an honest clan. This does take a bit of toll on the relationship between TKO and NBK.

The reset goes along quietly without incident until 2 members who came over from AoDT detag and suicide on LAE. Warster along with NBK and LAE members kill off the 32 countries involved and TKO agrees to pay Lae reps of over 1 B food paid by Warster. The rest of the reset goes along mostly in peace. Near the end of the set a TKO country send a few missiles and attacks at NBK requiring some FA work to be done. All is resolved and the set ends fairly well for TKO.

Despite paying out over 1bil in food in reps, and having a fair amount of AoDTers who aren't the best at netting (40 countries under 10m NW) TKO finished the set fairly well finishing 2nd in TNW behind pan and 2nd in ANW behind Dynasty although Dynasty did drop a few countries in the final 48 hours to get the title.

TKO finished with a total of 27 countries top 100, with 4 of those being top 25 and the best finish being 7th.

Round 5

Countries - 112

Total Net 1ST -$11,991,465,011

Average 1ST -$107,066,652

A few more former TKOers come back to net but not many AoDTers stuck around in TKO this set so TKO membership took a sharp decline back to previous levels. TKO has its most peaceful set in its existence. The sole exception is one person ketchup was grabbing (Bauer) and his tag (NTS) began retelling TKO countries that had not touched him since he couldn't retal ketchup. This leads to the 16 NTS countries being killed. 5 manage to run into vacation mode but are swiftly taken care of once he is kicked out.

Early on in set RoCK declares war on LaE, meaning LaE blew a week or two of turns killing countries and more LaE countries ended up within the range of their typical suicides hurting their netting set. Later in the set NBK hit PANLV leaving TKO and SoF as the only netting tags left over 100m NW. IMP and FoCuS continued their wars.

With a month left in the set PAN and NBK ended their conflict with a CF. NBK being a war clan and against self farming began targeting countries with large land and low defense. Even if you had decent defense if you had too much land you were bound to get hit by them. TKO had to deal with 2-3 grabs a day from NBK for a week or two, leading them to make a few designated retallers. A few clans were not pleased with NBKs attacks and had a few members over-react leading in loss of land for them or NBK killing a few countries. TKO managed to keep its members in control, and began a campaign to get the most out of each retal. TKOs retaller would drop or climb NW anywhere from 4m to 15m in order to get maximum gains on retals. After ghost acres most hits ended with TKO gaining 500-2000 acres. NBK was still gaining more but in comparison to other tags TKO wasn't that great a grab target. Gaining the respect of NBK for retalling saw multiple NBKers cease any grabs on TKO, with a few citing that as reason. With the decline in grabs TKO went into full netgain mode again with only 1-2 grabs a week. The retaller was so effective that it transferring the land back the owner ended up with it being in the top 10 in defends at sets end, even during a heavy warset with many great walling efforts.

Near the end there was a battle for TNW. TKO had more or less taken ANW crown, as long as no one detagged from LaE to make a solo tag, but TKO still had to overcome a 200 country deficit to LaE for the TNW. TKO started to take a bit of a lead when LaE had some internal turmoil stemming from some 16v.16 wars they arranged for members not fully netting. This lead to a few members detagging and creating KA which carried on into the next set. TKO took TNW by a fair margin and set the current FFA record for ANW.

This is the first set with 38$ guaranteed food for destock so all NWs are slightly higher. TKO blows its former records out of the water. A few members have some great sets, with Bart surpassing 100m personal ANW, Troytiger surpassing 150m personal ANW and Ketchup surpassing 200m personally ANW. The majority of members have good netting sets, and with no weak countries dragging them down set a impressive 107m ANW mark.

TKO managed to place 54 of its 112 countries in the top 100 meaning more then half of top 100 countries were TKOers. TKO had 33 of the top 50, and 12 of the top 25 with 2 countries top 10. TKO traditionally has more top 100 countries then top 10 proportionally due to the fact that not many TKOers do FA chains or self farm to pump up one country. Troytiger finished the set with the 2nd ranked country at 854m NW, Bart nearly had all his countries in the top 50 (lowest finish was 55th) and Ketchup, save his retaller which hurt from all the NW variations it made, had all his in the top 50.
